Suspects; crime group, urbanity neighbourhood and residential community

This table provides data on registered and apprehended suspects of an offence registered during the reporting year, distinguishing by crime group, urbanity of the neighbourhood and residential community. The table shows the number of suspects of crime in absolute and relative figures. The relative figure is calculated per 10 000 persons in the selected population. Personal data of persons not included in the Basic Registration Persons (BRP) are often missing. These persons are included in the absolute figures, but not in the relative. As the number of suspects per type of crime is presented per reporting year, the number of suspects per type of crime aggregates to more than the total number of unique suspects. A person who has been registered or apprehended more than once within a reporting year is counted only once in the total number of suspects. In addition, he is counted once in the relevant main group of offences for each offence he is suspected of. Example: a suspect of 10 burglaries and 2 violent offences is counted 1 times in Total number of suspects, 1 times in Power Offences and 1x in Violence Crimes. Due to the disappearance of the Recognition Service Systems (HKS), figures on detained suspects are available from 1999 to 2014. For registered suspects, regional data are available from 2010 and for the Netherlands in total from 2005. Status of the figures: The figures until 2019 are final. The figures for 2020 and 2021 are provisional. Preliminary figures give an underestimation of the final number of suspects. The provisional number of suspects in the most recent year is a few percent lower than the final number. Changes as of March 2022: Figures for the year 2021 have been added. The figures for the number of suspects registered for the years 2019 and 2020 have been adjusted by compliance with information. When new figures will be available: Figures for registered suspects in 2022 will be available in the first quarter 2023.
